Matei, Ani; Antonovici, Corina-Georgiana; Savulescu, Carmen
The public sectors in most states are under the pressure of innovation processes and simultaneously of developing the public and nonprofit marketing. The common characteristics of those two processes include openness and focus on valorising the internal resources of national and local communities in view to increase their general welfare. Their interaction generates a new concept - innovative public marketing – which incorporates and adapts the mechanisms specific for social innovation aimed at creation of new social values. The current paper aims to define and to operationalize a new concept, that of innovative public marketing, in view to describe the new mechanisms for creation of new social value. The paper will valorise, mainly, theories and analyses concerning social innovation, especially open innovation, as well as newer concepts concerning sustainable public marketing, public sector marketization etc. The research methodology will include bibliographical research, socio-statistical analysis and case study.

Matei, Ani; Antonie, Catalina
The objective of this article is to describe a way for public services leaders to create and lead a wanted change. Complexity and
uncertainty or public organization has a high impact when managers are willing to conduct change. We try to see if we can
change the way attractors behave, and how can them create chaotic change by influencing the patterns of human interaction. The
key of success is not counting on the on experiences from the private sector, but to adapt all the means and strategy to achieve
effectiveness and innovative. The complexity of change and the complexity of the public organization are two important points
and we try to establish a good way to achieve the organizations means by focusing on tools, strategy and structures instead of
paying attention to how human beings change by forming identities through relating. The adaptive management is more about
changing the usual practices in order to comply also with some chaotic circumstances and unpredictability, uncertainty, selfgovernance,
emergence and other premises describing chaotic circumstances. Not only the practices and strategy need to change
but also the leaders need to adapt more to the organizations complexity, its attractors and culture. The managerial control is very
important, but order cannot be established just by knowing the entire situation

The Case of RomaniaMatei, AniChesaru, Octavianhttp://www.apas.admpubl.snspa.ro/handle/2010/4672016-01-30T21:08:31Z2015-04-15T00:00:00ZAdministrative Simplification in the Context of the Global Economic Crisis. The Case of Romania
Matei, Ani; Chesaru, Octavian
The economic crisis has developed new challenges for public institutions in the EU member states. These institutions experience
a notable economic pressure on their decisional process. The EU has been boosting the member states to reduce the
‘administrative burden’ of public institutions by promoting measures of institutional and legislative adaptation to the challenges
set by the crisis, measures appropriate to the techniques of adaptive public management. The goal of this article is to analyze the
administrative simplification processes undertaken as a result of the implementation of adaptive public management in the
Romanian pubic administration. The targeted fields of reform analyzed relate to public investments, public expenditure, public
procurement, the fiscal policy, the level of beaurocratisation, and the support for business development. Methods of research
refer to the analysis of official documents regarding the ‘administrative burden’ and possible solutions for reducing it, as
indicated by the EU or member states that succeeded in doing so, as well as the method of data analysis regarding the indicators
of improvement of the targeted fields and the results of administrative simplification. The conclusions underline the level of
implementation in the Romanian public administration of the action courses promoted by the EU in the direction of reducing the
‘administrative burden’.

The Law and Public Administration study group is a permanent study group of the
European Group for Public Administration (EGPA). It aims at fostering the study
of practice and theory of law in public administration and policies. It encourages
the use of “open” methods like law in context, empirical approaches and
interdisciplinary research. The group thus aims at being a meeting place for
scholars and practitioners from different fields: lawyers, sociologists, political
scientists and economists. It welcomes studies on Law and PA at all the executive
levels: local, regional, national, European and international.
The Law and Public Administration study group is a unique place in European
scientifically environment where law and public administration specialists from
very different backgrounds (professional, academic or geographic) can meet,
discuss and share their work. The group met recently in Rotterdam (2008),
Valletta (2009), Toulouse (2010), Bucharest (2011) and will meet again in Bergen
(2012). Scholars or practitioners from over 12 countries were present in 2011.
Beyond the presentation and the discussion on members’ papers, the group is also
a platform for research on law and public administration. Up to now, several
participants presented research projects (among other on the topics of
ombudsmen, on the effectiveness of proceedings in administrative courts and on
systems of allocation of limited rights) and looked for the involvement of other
interested group members. These projects lead to joint activities and, eventually,
joint publications. Besides, study group members do apply regularly for research
grants or visiting scholarships within the study group’s network.
In 2011, the Law and Public Administration group organized in Vienna, between
9-13 February, the 4th Trans European Dialogue (TED) involving the two key
professional organizations of public administration in Europe – EGPA and
NISPAcee. The dialogue tackled a topic neglected for a long time: Law vs. Public
Management Revisited, bringing together managers and lawyers to discuss issues
of common interest. Following the conference, a selection of contributions were
published in a special issue of the The NISPAcee Journal of Public Administration
and Policy (Vol. IV, No. 2, Winter 2011/2012, Special Issue: Law and Public
Management Revisited)At annual EGPA events, proposed, accepted and presented papers are available on
the conferences’ website. As a next step in fostering the cooperation among
members and opening up to other contributors, we are interested in an active
policy towards publication of the papers. This will enhance the group visibility
and the impact of each paper. Thus, in 2011 a selection of papers from the 2010
conference (Toulouse) was published in a special issue of the Transylvanian
Review of Administrative Sciences This initiative continued with the current
publication. The co-chairs intend a publication of the proceedings every year, so
this publication will be the first in an on-going collection.
The papers published here cover a large span of Law and PA subjects written by
lawyers, PA specialists, and political scientists: administrative appeals (Inger-
Marie Conradsen), Ombudsman institutions (Gavin Drewry), administrative
silence (Polona Kovač), administrative cooperation (François Lafarge), actions for
annulment (Agne Limante), informal pro-active approach model (A.-T. Marseille
and K.J. de Graaf), standing requirements (Jan Robbe and Paulien A. Willemsen)
and legitimate expectations (Soňa Skulová, Faisal Husseini, Marta Vrbová, Klára
Prokopová).
Papers benefited from comments and discussions during the group meeting as
well as blind peer review before accepted for publication. They should not be
published elsewhere without prior authorization from the editors.
The editors would like to thank the organizers of EGPA Bucharest 2011, professor
Lucica Matei and professor Ani Matei (National School of Political Studies and
Public Administration) for financing and endorsing this publication. We are also
grateful to Dr. Fabienne Maron, EGPA Executive Secretary, to Geert Bouckaert
and Wim van de Donk, past president respectively current president of EGPA, for
their continuous support for the Law and Public Administration study group.
